What Causes Swollen Tonsils With White Bump, Headaches And Pain Under Cheek Bone?

Hi ,my name is hope, and I've had a tooth infection for about 5 months. I have had the symptoms of swollen tonsils with white bumps, trouble swallowing, headaches, pain under my cheek bone, and frequent urination. But I can't afford the work yet. Should I worry about getting worse anytime soon?

Hi..
Welcome to HEALTHCARE MAGIC..

I have gone through your query and can understand your concerns..

As per your complain it seems that swollen tonsils along with white bumps and trouble swallowing seems to be due to bacterial throat infection leading to follicular tonsillitis.. like augmentin
While pain under cheek bone and headache can be due to radiating pain from infected tooth..
Both the above conditions are not related to frequent urination and you need to get evaluated for it by an urologist and an ultrasound and blood tests can help in diagnosis and treatment can be planned accordingly..
For tonsillitis you can take a course of antibiotics like Augmentin, anti inflammatory painkillers like Ibuprofen, do warm saline gargles, steam inhalations and use a humidifier in your room..
You can avoid spicy and chilled foods..
For tooth infection you can get the tooth treated with either root canal treatment if it can be saved or extraction in case of gross decay..

Hope this information helps..

Thanks and regards.
